We are not alone in this world, even though we have our secrets.

I have four favourite websites. The first one being www.postsecrets.com which is one of the most visited websites in the world. It is a website where people make annonymous postcards with a secret that they have never told anyone on front of the postcard and they send it into a man by the name of Frank Warren.

Frank Warren started this as a social experiment a few years ago. He created blank postcards with his address on the back and encouraged people to write their secrets on the front and send them into him. At first he just posted the empty postcards into peoples letter box's or put them in books at the library. He got such an amazing response that he decided to put the best ones on a website and it soon became a global phenomenom. (For the whole story see this link http://fromuktouswithlove.blogspot.com/2010/08/postsecret-august-6-2010.html)

Now every Sunday Frank puts up about 20 of his favourte post cards that week. I have to say, getting on the computer on Monday is so exciting!! I so look forward to seeing what people have shared that week. Some days I'm left laughing, other days I'm left crying. It's such an eye opening website. You realise that behind the masks of everyday people lie such hurt, such joy and such ambition.

One Sunday Postcard said this: I have lived in San Francisco since I was young. I am illegal. I am not wanted here. I don't belong anywhere. This summer I plan to jump off the Golden Gate. This postcard sparked a campaign. A campaign called 'Please don't jump'. There is a group on facebook supporting it. A comment that someone left on the page sum's up the power of sharing that very secret: I can't ever imagine how the person that made this secret must feel. There's this massive and immensely supportive Facebook fanpage. There's been a Time article or two about this secret. Frank even speaks on Capital Hill about this secret. I really do wonder what happened to this individual. How they feel about the impact they've had. I wonder if they even realize the impact that they have made. I wonder if they still want to jump.

No one knows who this person is, or if they are still alive. But this campaign has stopped many people from committing suicide. On the facebook page there's almost 500 photo's of different people with 'Please don't jump' written on their hands. It is so powerful. The Postsecret's website is now dedicated to raising money for suicide support. Frank Warren is a speaker who goes round talking about suicide prevention.

The website shows true human emotion. It's raw and honest. It makes me think about how the world would be if we were that honest in real life. This website has made me realize that I am not alone, no matter what happens. That there are people out there who feel exactly the same way, who do exactly the same things as me. We are not alone in this world, even though we have our secrets.
